Ombudsam

Wirtz ain’t getting dropped. He’ll probs be in the 10 too.

In my head we seem contractually obliged to always have to play Newcastle and Everton at theirs under the lights way more than the other way round. Almost deffo not true but I’m upset about it anyway.

Do you have to resign now cos of collective responsibility?

I heard that talk around Wirtz and some around Ekitike too but it was only meant to be decisive in the Wirtz case. They’ll deffo be some plan for all of them though and I doubt anything untrue was pitched to Hugo. I reckon Ekitike wanted to join the project as a whole as opposed to thinking “This guy has identified my ability to pick up the ball on the blindside half turn and wants to combine it with Mac Allister’s packing. Why has no one else seen this. I’ll be unstoppable!!!”

Oh yeah. I forgot those famous double pivots of Modric, Kroos and Casemeiro and arguably the even better Pirlo, Pogba, Marchisio and Vidal or midfields from so long ago that they are dead.

It’s a real indictment in taller players isn’t it. Why don’t they just move their legs as quickly as he moves his and get to places before he does.

I think he is the signing excites me the most. The most blank space to fill in. You’d imagine he’d talk to all of signings and tell there where they’ll play.

Aye, these people don’t get it with their woke free expression at all costs. There are roles on the pitch for that but these people who can’t get over that they aren’t young anymore can’t even see the link between David Luiz’s hair and his CB performances. Try picking Albelda and Baraja out of a line up. You can’t. Good. Look state number he is wearing. Exactly! When Dom can’t get in the team ahead of Macca and Grav he can cry into his pigtails

Footballers are well better at football than you think. They can process all sorts.

Look at how far and to what corners of the earth you guys are going to find double pivot midfielders with wild hair. Dom needs to cut his hair and and tuck his shirt in. It’s not a big ask to achieve greatness.

Dunno the first but liked Donadoni. I would be ok if he was a 10 or a winger but he is playing in a 2 man pivot. We need order. Look at Gravenberch. The men is kempt, groomed, well maintained. He knows what’s needed in that position.

I think he would be better if he tucked his shirt in and tidied his hair.

It ends when we say it ends.

Torres didn’t score on his debut. Ekitike has.

It’s annoying when you genuinely are one.

Men are silly. (I know HG is joking btw)

Why and enforced how?

I hate that you don’t play the same teams as your opponents but you are all competing for points. Just as a principle it seems bad. Doesn’t stop it from being entertaining although I’m not sure it was. On a linked but separate note, I was dining after 4-5 games that we still had to keep winning. That’s probably a strength of the first but it did annoy me.

yup

Get both!

Maybe that little injury prone rat in midfield has said he’s off to Real Madrid. f*** him!

Well yeah I’d go there for that.

We were talking about in the Kerkez thread obvs. Slot referenced his first time or short passing (can’t remember which) was where he could improve but I can’t believe how far the lad has come. I really liked him from the off but he can go further than I thought. Do we reckon we can beat Vitinha and Neves now? They were genuinely outstanding v us I thought. We edged that second leg imo but we lost so who cares I spose.

Agree with all this. Where we probably differ is that I think if any of them are reds then I’m shrugging my shoulders as opposed to thinking it is dreadful reffing. I think there is so much that you hear people talk about in definite terms and then you watch it and it is so much greyer. I’m pretty sure Henderson went ballistic at Virg for that tackle and Virg looked sheepish as he was.

Virgil has his own tournament? If you win it then do you win him? Can I play?
